red sees the crash, scowling. he presses the gas and pulls closer, taking billy's place alongside the ford.
red swears and lets the truck fall back, swearing. up ahead is a long, curving downgrade. he taps the brakes. there is a jolt as the trailer bumps the tractor.
red struggles to stay in control. every time he applies the brakes, the unchecked trailer jars the cab forward.
red hits the brakes, but it's no use. the bumpers are meshed. the two vehicles plunge downhill, skidding sideways.
red's eyes burn as he presses the accelerator and forces the pickup farther through the broken railing.
red presses the gas, yelling over the engine roar. the railing is giving way. he sees jeff struggling to his feet.
red has both hands around jeff's windpipe. he glances up for a second, reacts, but it's too late.
red and jeff are thrown forward in the cab, still flailing at each other, as the truck plunges nose-first into the gorge.
jeff slams into the windshield. red lands on top of him. loose objects from the cab rain against the windshield.
